Twin Roses

9.I have two more

A loud thud made me wake up early in the morning and my mother's voice came after that.

"Hey kids!! Time to wake up!! You guys are already late and it's the first semester!! Hurry up...."

Ahhhh! I am too lazy to get off the bed. It's so warm. I had one of my legs on Jared and he was cuddling me between his arms. What an amazing brother! STOP!!!

I should not think way too deep I can Imagine myself tearing up again.

"Hey... Wake up" I nudged Jared.

"mmmm... a bit more..." He said cuddling me more.

"Dood, we are already late. It's the first day of the first semester!!" I shouted to make him startled.

"Oh! Shit I totally forgot" Jared jerked up and lost his balance and fell on to the floor.

Oops my bad, I teased.

I got off the bed and walked to my room, had a wash and went to my closet.

Okay..., the first semester of the year. A new impression to new people. This years I want to be unnoticed. Being socialized is nice but with my condition I do not want more people to worry and pity me.

So, I grabbed a gray color dress and put on an off-white cardigan. You know the granny type. To cover my hair, I hid it in a gray color beanie. Just as I was touching myself up Jared came,

"Why that?" he asked.

"Not to get attention" I replied. I could see his face clouding and then going back to normal. Then he went out, closing the door. Obviously, the reason he came was to check me out. Hey don't take it the wrong way.

I did not put on contacts, just grabbed my glasses and when down stairs.

"Morning" mom greeted me.

"Morning"

There was apple and chicken cold salad waiting for me on the counter.so I sat on the chair and started to dig in. I could see mom looking at me with sorrowful eyes from the corner.

"What " I asked.

"Nothing" she said and it was obvious that there was something so, to get rid of the awkward silence I asked.

"Where is Daisy and Iris"

"Oh, since you guys were getting late Dad dropped her and went to work and Iris is still asleep"

"Good morning mom" Jared came in and mom greeted him with a kiss on the head. He was aiming to look like me as well gray shirt and an off-white hoodie, how sweet of him.

"Mom, don't you think biscuits should just cut school. I am afraid that it would be too much for her." Jared took out the main reason that we have been fighting about these days.

"No Jared, I do not want to slack around the house while you are at school having fun." I protested.

"Then at least wear the normal things you wear "he said.

"Are you indirectly saying that I don't look good?" I pretended to be annoyed and headed out.

"Oh, come on...don't be mean" Jared whined.

Mom followed us to the door laughing at our childish talk. she handed Jared's salad then kissed us goodbye.

"Have fun kids" she said as she waved us goodbye. 

"I'll drive today"

"Why so suddenly" Asked Jared.

"Just because" I said. Obviously, it's cool to drive a car this much hot you dummy!!

                                                                                  *** 

just as I parked Jared's buddies came.

"Long time no see bro" David said as I opened the door to get out. We have tinted glass so he probably didn't know that I was driving.

"Oh, wrong twin! I see you drove today" he said.

"So, you are taking back your greeting, are you David?" I asked. Me and David have a very unusual relationship.

"No, my lady. I was Just surprised that my lady drove today since you always let your driver do it. Please accept my apology. I meant no offence and it is indeed a pleasure seeing you first in this great morning. How has my Lady's vacation been?" David said with a little bow.

"Apology accepted. The vacation was indeed something, how about accompanying me to my locker? Sir David."

"Hence the Lady asked I cannot reject the offer" replied David.

"You understand that we are here as well you two" butted Jared.

"Here we go again, how long are you two going to do this? asked Adrian"

"Do not mind the driver and the lavatory cleaner my lady. They are both out of their mind to even talk in front of the lady. Mind your words in front of the lady you peasants!! Then shall we my lady" David offered me his hand.

"Yes, we shall" I said accepting his hand.

"Let us go to the great locker!!"

"Lavatory cleaner, seriously you couldn't think of anything better?" I could hear Adrien complaining.

"You know that suits you very well" Jared replied.

"Shut up Idiot driver" said Adrien.

Haa, nice way to start the new semester. I am sure they know my condition I was there when Jared told them but nothing has changed between us. We talk as we usually do. It feels nice. The tension which was there in the beginning disappeared just within seconds and we are all back to the way we were.

I could hear Jared and Adrien fighting childishly and David holding my hand would throw words at them then apologize for his rude behavior in front of his lady. People around us would look at us weirdly but we were lost in our own world enjoying the moment. They say true friends can be family and this  proves it.

A smile came to my face. 

Even though I have only one blood related brother. It is obvious when it comes to brothers, in truth,

I have two more.
